This is also the first one I have ever had pre Flower I've just started clones this year tho so I'm sure it's more popular to see with them as there age is same as mother plant so that I understand. Just caught me off guard. Do I have to flower it now tho? It's not really ready for what I was doing with it but I could

Well that's how they ALL started. Tiny ball looki things. By now they are looking more like chatters of calyxes starting. Once they get bigger. It's in my Veg room so no biggy No fan is running ether in t right now. CFLs don't get hot enough to matter so I turned it off yesterday. JUST IN CASE. So it didn't spread pollen everywhere if it is a Hermie starting. I'm waiting to see if it's popping them out as both calyxes AND balls. I've seen pics of it on hermied when they preflower or first show the sex. But I'm thinking it's fine. I may just say screw jt and flower her early. I was going to
Build a Mini SCROG with her. Her lower branches were growing so fast and catching up to the tops I was going to bend her down and shoot them thru a screen for just one plant and may be an odd way of doing it. But I like to play around so figured what the hell.

Awesome. You could easily turn that into a Cannabis Bonsai tree. When you harvest. Leave the lowest buds on the plant and Reveg it. The stem will thicken up like a tree and then usually the second Veg period and Flower will turn it into a true Bonsai tree Sometimes it takes three. But looking at how nice yours is already. I'd say if you re veg it it will for sure end up like a Mini tree. This is an example of what I'm trying to do. A Mini Cannabis Bonsai Tree These are other bonsai plants but this is my goal for cannabis.

I have two Similar to yours that I'm actually going to cut all the top buds off and grow the popcorn buds out so hopefully it will look like a bonsai tree kind of. I'm trying different ways to do it and revegging seems to be the best I've found so far to get the thick trunk type stem

I wish i still had the pictures but i lost them when i dropped one of my hard drives literally no more than 3 inches. Back when i was running a 150 watt hps i had a room big enough for 4 5 gallon buckets and it just so happened i had a 3 gallon ice cream tub that fit perfectly in the center space.

Which reminds me a helpful hint for anyone looking to source cheap pots is to go to an ice cream shop and ask if they have any empty tubs.

Anyways i did a mixed strain run, bunch of barneys farm strains and nirvana's white castle and i started with about 8 seeds. Lost 2 and another two were just runting it up. IIRC they were liberty haze and tangerine dream from barneys. I dont like killing plants, and like i said that 3 gallon fit perfectly between my other 4 plants that were all growing quite nicely so i decided they could share it.

Then i decided something... sinister
Taking a page out of joseph mengels book i decided to experiment. I had no twins so these two would have to do.

I wanted to see what would happen if i were to intertwine the two plants. Weve seen siamese twins and we've seperated them successfully, but have we ever made them?

I LST'd the main stalks around each other in the best spiral shape i could manage. I did the same with the branches. In the end the two plants ended up staying together through the drying but naturally when you went to break it up the two strains would seperate.

They didnt yeild much and were both about 3/4 of the height of my other 4.

My favourite part was the subtle distinctions hetween the strains. It would have been a lot cooler to have like a purple strain and a green one and have marble cheddar style weed but there was enough of a difference you could tell where the tange stopped and the liberty haze started.

If i did this again i would experiment with what i guess would be whole plant grafting. Id love to see what would happen if you cut some skin off both plants and joined the cuts together. Could two plants be grafted together as one and not just branches from one growing off another? Would they share root systems? What about the gentic differences and the roles they play in what nutrients the strains want, how they process those nutrients?

Kool. That's a kool start for it. Just wondering. I noticed it sitting on a car seat. Another Motorhome grower maybe ?? Lol. I live in a Motorhome so my front section where the seats and steering wheel is is my grow room. Popped the seats out and it's a perfect space for 600w HPS with 3-6 plants. Was suppose to be 2 seedling 2 in Early Veg. 2 in Veg to flower. 2 in Flower and 2ready to harvest but it I was playing with my clones so much that I got WAAAAYYYY to many for smaller areas. So I may have to flower a couple small plants instead of Manifolding and/or bonsai style just to save the room a bit. I have 4 in there now two medium and two large but with all these clones I don't want to kill them cus I don't like killing a plant at all. But if someone doesn't take them off my hands here then I'll just flower them and get little Colas. Lol

Yeah that would be kool. Ya know its I teresteing. If I was a Resident of say Oregon with a liscenes and card for cannabis and lived in an RV. If that's my residence.

Here's an update on pics. These are the one I had in veg if showed them before
Almost all of mine are White Widoe x Bmigs Buds
The first one is a 6 Cola but was only topped once that I just was playing around with
Second is the Nugbuckets mainlined to 8 Cola
Third is a clone that I grew using Nebulas method and I have 10! cola on it
Fourth plant is only 4 Cola and is Afghani strain which will be crossed with a Male that I have no clue how it got mixed in. I had blue dream and Jack Herer that turned Male and I think I may have snagged a clone from one and forgot about it. Oh well. I moved it then I cut all the lower stuff off. And out a bag over the male parts left to catch the pollen

So those are all my plants in flower right now. Still early. But should be a nice turn out

Hey guys,
Here's my bonsai Blackberry Auto at day 75. Grown in a 1L (1/4 gal) fabric pot with organic super soil under 4 x 13w CFLs (2x6500k and 2x3000k). Ended up with 9g dried and cured. Not a huge yield, but it was a fun/pretty little plant with super dense buds.

I have one similar. I have to grab pics later but it really is turning into a nice Bonsai tree type. I haven't been able to grow one how I like yet. They stretch too much when I put into
Flower and become tall and lanky This one I have is really nice and I even have twisted a few branches together too and trying to make a mini tree out of it if it cooperates.
